Friendships can get tricky because you’re not forced to be friends with anyone, so it has to go both ways.

Sometimes the connections we hold dear aren’t the same for the other person, and it can be tough to “break up” with a friend.

This former friendship turned bitter, and petty revenge ensued.

Check out the full story!

Obeying the law has never felt so good

So for the past few months, nearly a year now, I have had an interesting situation with an ex-friend of mine.

We originally became friends almost 6 years ago now, but overtime the friendship faded away, and it kind of exploded at the end.

His friend had been very mean towards him.

During this explosion, he said some very hurtful things related to traumas I had opened up to him in the past over, and ever since it has been very chaotic.

Like, almost a general campaign of harassment against me, or at least I would call it that if it wasn’t so childish.

For example…

The bitterness kept getting worse.

-He calls me a pedophile for dating someone 1 and a half years younger than I am, simply because we are 2 grades apart.

(I have a summer birthday, and hers is in the middle of the school year. This causes shenanigan’s with age and such, I’m sure you know).

For the record, I am 17.

-He acts like I have a magical mystery disease that will kill him if he dares get within 5 feet of me.

This is difficult seeing how we share almost all of our classes (we are the only members of our high school trombone section, and band is among the only classes we have at the school because of dual enrollment programs.)

And both are on the same swim team, so lane sharing is a common occurrence when he doesn’t demote himself to the slowest group on our team to stay away from me despite both of us being among the fastest.

-Treat me complimenting him on good playing, or a good race as its the gravest insult known to man, and reply with something along the lines of the first point.

-Minor tips on how a passage should be played (Hey x, just so you know that note is on the ‘and’ of beat 3) are met with wonderful comments, I don’t like remembering his BS.

The friend clearly doesn’t want to include this guy in anything.

-Says I am ‘no fun’ or variations of such for telling him and his newer group to stop calling people slurs, both their own group and others such as me.

(I am non binary, and black. So yeah it’s a fun time dealing with that). But of course, ‘it’s just a joke man, chillout’

This pointless high school drama has been going on for just under year by now. Which I think is just a wee bit silly.

He had to do something about it!

As for the revenge, well we do share a swim team, and live in very similar areas.

So given that practice has started back up after the end of the school year, I have taken to going the exact speed limit in front of his car on the way home.

You see, the pool we have to go to for practices is roughly 20 miles away, the VAST majority of this (about 17 miles) is all on one long road, as we need to head out to another city to practice.

He knew what he was doing. Just driving safe!

The speed limit on this road is 45 miles per hour, but NOBODY and I mean NOBODY obeys this. I have seen cops blaze down it at 60+.

But me? no. I obey the law.

No passing is allowed on this road, and with me cruising at a casual 43 miles per hour as to not break any traffic law, directly in front of my ex friend? yeah it adds an extra 5-10 minutes ISH to the trip.

His friends really needed to get somewhere but uh oh…

Problem for him, is that he needs to get to work right after practice.

So I’ve added just a little bit of stress to his life during that commute.

I will probably stop after today, but just one week of seeing his face in my rearview has been SOOOOOOOO worth it.

The aftermath?

The cause of a few ‘you’re late’ scolding from his boss? yes.

Funny enough to have me cackling like a crazy person the whole way home? yes

Mean people deserve a little pettiness.

Let’s find out if the Reddit community agrees.

This user can’t have enough of this petty revenge!

This person shares an exciting story from the 70s!

That’s a loophole in the story!

This person knows the unfortunate truth of law enforcement.

Agreed! These boys need to find other hobbies.

Why can’t the boys just go their own way?

It’s not like they’re trying to fix the friendship anyway.
